(1) Introduction:
The moisture measuring device HFM 200 from HEYLO is a
measuring device for non-contact measurement of humidity
in materials, such as wood and other building materials
without causing damage to the surface. The high-frequency
technology permits the measuring device to carry out non-
invasive humdity measurements.

Measuring depth von 20-40 mm
•
Measuring and holding function
•
Dispaly of the max. and min. values
•
Alarm function
•
Indicator of low battery
•
Automatic shutdown

(3) Safety guidelines:
In case of damage which has been caused by the non-
observation of the operating manual, the warranty /
guarantee expires ! We shall not assume any liability
for consequential damage ! In case of personal injury
or material damage which have been cuased by in
correct handling or non-observation of the safety
instructions, we shall not assume any liablity. In such
cases the warranty / guarantee expires. Personal
safety: The product is no toy and should be kept away
from children !
(4) Product safety
When a device is taken from a cold into a warm
surroundings, condensated water may develop in the water.
This may lead to wrong measuring results. Let the device
rest for a while prior to operation until it has adjusted to the
new ambient air. The product must not be subjected to
strong mechanical pressure. The product must not be
subjected to any extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
strong vibrations or moisture.
If no safe operation is possible any more, shut the device down
and protect it against unintentional use. The safe operation is no
longer ensured when the device has visible damage, no longer
operates correctly, has been stored under unfavourable ambient
conditions for a longer period or has been subjected to
considerable transport load.

(7) Placing the batteries
:
The moisture measure device is operated on three AAA batteries.
5. Use a screw-driver to remove the cover of the battery
compartment on the rear side of the measuring device.
6. Place three batteries of type AAA, observing the correct
polarity.
7. Place the cover of the battery compartment again.
8. Replace the batteries, when the display for low battery (1) lights
up on the LCD (chapter (6) of the operating instructions).
(8) Operation
General information before you start with the measurement:
11. The moisture displayed is an average value which is
determined by the moisture of the outside surface as well as
the inside of the material. If there is visible surface moisture
or water, wipe it off and let the surface dry for some minutes
before carrying out the measurement.
12. Other factors may also influence the measurement. All paint
residue, dust et cetera has to be moved from the
corresponding surface prior to the measurement.
13. Hold the measuring device at its extreme end in order to
prevent any potential moisture influences by your hand.
14. The measuring device is not suitable for the measurement of
metal or other strongly electricity conduction materials. When
enclosed metal (such as nails, screws, cables, pipes, et
cetera) are located in the measuring range of the sensor, the
values measured rise considerably.
15. When the ball head is placed in a wall corner, the measured
values may be higher potentially as there are two or three
surfaces in the measuring range. Keep a minimum distance
of 8 to 10 cm to other surfaces in order to prevent
interferences.
16. Place the ball head on smooth surfaces. Rough surfaces will
lead to imprecise measuring results.
17. The measuring depth of the device reaches from 20 to 40
mm. Depending on the density of the material, a
measurement inside the core may not be possible
potentially. If material has a thickness of less than 2 cm, the
measured value of the degree of moisture may be imprecise on
account of the adjacent material.
18. The ball head has to be held at a right angle to the surface
which shall be measured.
19. The density of the measured material play an important role for
the meausring rusult. The measured value increases with the
respective density.
20. An important area of application for this device are comparative
measurements, during which the value measured is compared
with a reference value. The reference value is determined by
the measurement in a distinctly drier area of a similar or
identical material. When the subsequent measurement is
distinctly higher than the reference value, it may be concluded
that the meausring area is moist. This process is very well
suited for the assessment of damage caused by water,
localization of leaking points and areas of high moisture.
(9) Measurement of the degree of humidity
7. Switch the measuring device on by pressing the ON/OFF button
(7).
8. The measuring device has to be calibrated every time it is
switched on. For calibration hold the measuring device into the
air so that it does not touch any objects. The minimum distance
to every surface should be 8 to 10 cm. Press MEAS (3) to start
the calibration process.
9. During the calibration the LCD displays <CAL>. After calibration
the LCD displays the current moisture value (3). This value
should be below 0.5. If this is not the case, switch the
measuring device off and repeat the calibration process.
10. Hold the ball head of the moisture sensor at a right angle to the
surface.
11. Hold MEAS pressed to measure the surface. Move the
measuring device to carry out measurements of a larger
surface. The LCD should display the current value measured as
well as the maximum and minimum values.
12. Release the MEAS button after the measurement. The values
measured are displayed on the LCD for another 30 seconds
before the measuring devices is switched off automatically.
(10) Setting the signal function
Apart from three non-numeric measuring formats, the
measuring device displays in addition: DRY, RISK and WET.
When the RISK or WET moisture status is reached, the
measuring device released peeping signal sounds.
In the RISK section, the measuring device produces a signal
sound about once every second.
In the WET section, the measuring device produces a signal
sound about three times a second.
Given a humidity degree measurement of < 30, DRY is
displayed as a matter of principle; at 30 to 60 RISK is displayed,
and at value of more than 60 the reading is WET. Different
materials have different moisture tolerances. More information
is rendered in the Technical data (chapter (12) of the operating
instructions).
6. When the symbol HOLD (2) is displayed, press SET to return to
the signal mode.
7. The RISK symbol flashes. Press UP (4) or DOWN (6) to adapt
the lower limiting value for RISK. The value can be set from 0 to
50. Press SET to acknowledge your selection.
8. The WET symbol flashes. Press UP (4) or DOWN (6) to adapt
the lower limiting value for WET. The value can be set from 50
to 100. Press SET to acknowledge your selection.
9. The LCD switches back to the initial mode.
10. The limiting value is saved permanently until it is changed the
next time.
Backlight
Press UP to switch the backlight on or off when the HOLD symbol is
displayed.
(11) Servicing
When required, clean the unit with a soft, moist and lint-free cloth. Do not
let any moisture get into the housing. Do not use any sprays, solutions or
detergents which contain alcohol or scouring agents. Use clean water only
to moisten the cloth.
